Crock On Semi-Whole Foods Slow Cooker Cookbook Review

I am a recovering cookbook junkie. I love all things cookbook. My cookbook cupboard used to groan with overburdened shelves. And then I purged…the cookbooks, that is. One of the cookbooks I purged was my highly rated, but highly disappointing crockpot cookbook. It was filled with canned soups and powdered mixes, and the recipes rarely turned out well.

I was bummed, because I really wanted to love my crockpot, and I really wanted a cookbook to help make that happen.

Stacy’s beautiful cookbook belongs on a coffee table. I love perusing it, reading Stacy’s entertaining writing, and admiring the beautiful photography. It’s my new favorite e-cookbook. In fact, I like it so much, I bought a print copy.

Oh, I almost forgot. I love cooking out of it, as well.

And so will you.

Here’s why.

First, the recipes are delicious. Let’s face it. That’s the top priority for the husband and the kids. If it isn’t good, it…well…isn’t good.

Second, the subtitle of Crock On is A Semi-Whole Foods Slow Cooker Cookbook. I like the Whole Foods aspect of the book, because every recipe uses real, healthy, wholesome ingredients, unlike most crockpot cookbooks that call for powdered mixes and canned soups. I like the Semi portion of that title, because it indicates that the recipes aren’t over-the-top. In other words, every recipe contains ingredients that are readily available (and easily pronounced). It’s wholesome, yet doable.

Want to try a recipe? Here’s a page pulled right out of the cookbook (with permission, naturally, so don’t tattle on me). Click on the image to see the full version or to print it.

Looks good, doesn’t it?

Stacy’s beautiful cookbook is only $5 as an ebook or on Kindle. It is worth much more, but Stacy’s goal is to help her readers save money, so she set the price low. She’s neat like that. I personally think the print version would make a great gift. (Ask her for an autographed copy–it makes her blush.)

Thanks so much for offering this giveaway! I have been staring at the Crock on ad for about a week now, just waiting to buy it and I just never did!! We love our crock pot and use it weekly if not daily in the winter 🙂 I would just love to have a chance to try the Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cake because, well…do I really have to have a reason other than the name 😉

You might also want to check out Stacy’s website at http://www.stacymakescents.com. She posts a new crockpot recipe every Friday and has quite a backlog on there. I’ve liked every one I’ve tried. Of course, I like food–a lot. 🙂

The crockpot recipes look absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing this and for the giveaway! You might also enjoy some really great crockpot and simple recipes from Holly Clegg’s trim&TERRIFIC KITCHEN 101: Secrets to Cooking Confidence, which I have been going through since just before Thanksgiving. You can find the book here: http://www.hollyclegg.com

We had the beef and broccoli for dinner last week, and for lunch on Thanksgiving. Steve had it as a sandwich, too, en route to a concert. Stacy knows her stuff!

Amber, Stacy has crockpot meals every Friday on her site. She has it all organized quite well to see back “issues” of recipes. It’s at http://www.StacyMakesCents.com, one of only a handful of blogs I subscribe to. Less time on your feet, more energy reserved for growing that baby! 🙂
